Well, there goes another one. One of our local Radio Shacks just closed at the last, sole remaining Mall we have with it's doors still open.
I'd been predicting this for some time though, unfortunately. With them selling such niche things like cell phones and ditching their electronic component line almost entirely - it was just a matter of time.
Hello Mail order for electronics components. Guess I'll be buying my resistors by the hundreds to make up for the shipping costs.
A fond farewell to a Radio Shack that's been in business in the Mall for something like 40 years.
What's left? They've removed all the fountains, kyosks everywhere, raised the rent, closed storefronts, wiped out my old arcade and sold that real estate to Elder Beerman's. Nothing left of it and I and friends have absolutely no idea, where it used to be. They've blocked off half the entrances that once were there, and they haven't made one single improvement to that Mall since 1955.
